MONETARY VALUES IN KIDS

-

 That you are rich is not enough reason to spoil your children's life and future with the money.

There is nothing wrong with pampering your child from time to time, but don't turn it into a norm. It will have negative effect on them in the long run. 

Help them to know that MONEY IS WORKED FOR AND SHOULDN'T BE SQUANDERED. It can instead be  spent, invested, or saved. 

Contact me if you need the Financial Literacy Lectures for your Kids. 

Help them to understand that money is not everything. How? They will learn that from you through the way you handle money related matters. CHILDREN LEARN EASILY BY EXAMPLE. 

Teach these kids to understand that THERE IS SOMETHING called WANT AND NEED. AND THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. Let them know what the difference(s) is/are. 

Let them know the meaning of lack. Not because you don't have, but because you need to install core values in them. 

Teach them that they can't have access to everything they want all the time. And how to adapt when they don't have access to what they crave all the time. This will help them to learn ADAPTATION and CONTENTMENT. 

Don't indulge them by giving them things they don't need all because you can afford it. If you give to them the things they don't need, it results in wastefulness. You turn them into wasters by your extravagance! Please don't do this to the innocent child(ren). 

When you don't always give them everything they ask for, this will teach them that; a person doesn't always get what they want. NOTE THAT, they need this training, it is very important. 

Teach them to be kind, let them know it is important to give and assist those in need. As long as they have, they should give. Not only those in need but also to those celebrating one achieve or milestone. 

All that they have doesn't have to be consumed by them alone. 

They should give because the universe submits to givers. Even the Bible says give and it shall be given unto you. 

And whatsoever you sow, you will receive. 

This children need you in these developmental stages if their lives. DON'T DISAPPOINT THEM. Most importantly, DON'T DISAPPOINT GOD the giver of children.

    Parents make a mistake when they pamper in the name of love. Pampering creates weakness because children develop the belief that others should do everything for them. One of the greatest gifts you can give your children is to allow them to develop the belief, "I am capable." Children feel capable when they learn that they can survive the ups and downs of life.
    Thank you

CARELESS WORDS

-

  ********************* There is a fact we need to always take cognisance of: WORDS are POWERFUL! WORDS CAN EITHER MAKE OR BREAK A PERSON OR A RELATIONSHIP. Words can move a person to tears or propel laughter. Someone once said, “Words are sometimes more destructive than nuclear bomb”. Well, it's true, so you need to be careful how you speak to people or address a person. Some hurtful words can make the recipient feel so bad, feel mentally battered or even begin to have suicidal thoughts. A thought that just came to my mind concerning the effect of words is this: Comedians make people laugh, what do they use? WORDS! The suicide bombers are manipulated to carry out their dastardly act through what? WORDS! They are usually not forced to become suicide bombers, all their manipulators use are WORDS. YOU SEE THE POWER OF WORDS? God made the world through words. That means IF THE RIGHT WORDS CAN CREATE, THE WRONG WORDS CAN ALSO DESTROY WHAT HAS BEEN CREATED. Be mindful of what you say.

CELEBRATING IMPACT:- MR EMMANUEL

Mr. Emmanuel was one of my favourite teachers in secondary school. He was our Christian Religious Studies (CRS) teacher. HE WAS A VERY GOOD TEACHER. That subject he taught; CRS is a subject that most students usually find boring and uninteresting . But I can assure you that CRS is not boring, only the teacher teaching it can make it appear to be so. THE WAY AND MANNER A TEACHER TEACHES A SUBJECT CAN DETERMINE WHETHER STUDENTS WILL LIKE IT OR NOT. Also, have you noticed that if a student dislikes a teacher, it affects the student's attention span on that subject and by extension affects their performance in that subject? That takes me back to Mr. Emmanuel. There was never a dull moment in this man's classes despite the fact that he teaches one of the subjects students term 'boring'. Muslims or Islamic students who saw how he explained the topics in Christian Religious Studies and gesticulates always snuck into his classes so as not to be left out of the fun that is usua

THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN

In life, there are times when opportunities are either given to us or handed down to us. Opportunities given are the ones you get NOT because you are related or affiliated to the the giver. Opportunities handed down are the ones you get BECAUSE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP or affiliation to the giver. Some have been given opportunities that has turned them into billionaires. Maybe all they needed was capital to bring their ideas into reality. They get the money and boom! They become rich. This happened because they did not waste the opportunity they were given. They used it well, and become successful as a result. Many people have gotten some huge opportunities that they've wasted. This happens when the opportunity looks like a small deal or it is just not looking like an opportunity.  Thomas Edison said "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work".  Take note, NOT ALL Opportunities WILL LOOK LIKE OPPORTUNITIES at first, so it is le
